Summary
"Habit-forming. Mind-controlling"
This week’s podcast episode has EVERYTHING. We’re diving into the cult classic, The Stuff. It's like if your vanilla yogurt was a crystal ball into our social media-obsessed future—creepy, addictive, and turning everyone into mindless zombies craving more. Join us as we explore how this gooey, marshmallow-like treat from the '80s wasn’t just a dessert, but a prophecy about how social media would meld our minds into one big, hive-mind megazord. Don’t miss this chilling yet delicious breakdown of consumer culture gone wild.
